Introduction
Data Entry Templates are used to send learners to a fake web page, such as a login form, after they click the link in a PhishSim email. Infosec IQ includes prebuilt Data Entry Templates and also provides the ability to create your own.
When creating a PhishSim template set the Attack Type to Data Entry, which will route learners to the Data Entry page when they click the link. For more information see PhishSim Email Templates.
Note: Information entered into a data entry template is not collected or stored by Infosec.
To start, navigate to PhishSim > Data entry pages. There are three tabs:
- System: System Templates are templates created by Infosec and available to all clients.
- Contributed: Contributed templates were created by Infosec IQ clients and shared with the community.
- Personal: Personal templates are templates that have been created inside your account and are not available to any other clients.
Under each tab, templates are divided into categories. You can expand a category by clicking the + button. You can also search for templates using the search button.
Preview a Data Entry Template
Hover over an email template and click the preview button. A preview of the landing page will open in a new browser tab.
Create a Data Entry Template
- Click the New Template button. Alternatively, you can edit an existing template by clicking the Edit button.
- Enter a name for the template.
- Select a Domain from the list. You can also register custom domains under PhishSim > Phishy Domains. See Phishy Domains for more information.
- The data entry template can be customized through variables. Variables can be used to populate learner-specific data such as first name or company name. For example, the
{{learner_first}}variable will fill in the first name of the learner it is sent to. See Email and Data Entry Template Variables for more information. - Preview the template by clicking the Preview in Browser button.
- Click Save when you are finished.
Submit Element
Data entry templates require a submit element in order to save. The code can contain additional formatting, but the input id must equal "submit". Here is the most basic example required:
<input id="submit" type="button" value="Your Text Here" />
Images
Images can be used in Data Entry templates. Note that images are added to data entry templates by URL, so the image must be hosted outside of the Infosec IQ platform. When adding images to a Data Entry template you can optionally supply alternate text to improve accessibility. To add an image:
- In the template editor, click Insert > Image.
- Provide the image URL in the Source field.
- Optional: provide alternate text in the Image Description field.
- Enter the image dimensions and check Constrain Proportions if desired.
- Click OK.
Clone a Data Entry Template
Hover over a data entry template and click the clone button. After saving, the template will be found under the personal tab.
Contribute a Data Entry Template
To contribute a data entry template to the Infosec IQ community, go to the Personal tab and click Contribute to Infosec IQ. Your template will be reviewed by the Infosec IQ team and, if approved, will be available to all Infosec IQ users under the Contributed tab.
To withdraw a template that was submitted, but not yet approved, go to Contributed and click Withdraw Contribution.
Delete a Data Entry Template
To delete a personal data entry template, go to the Personal tab and click Delete. Please note that you cannot delete System or approved Contributed templates, although Contributed templates can be withdrawn before they are approved.
